Anyone with day care information and experience from 0-2 years old.

Hello. For those of you who have children 0-2 years old in Hawaii in day care, what kind of facilities do you leave your children in ?

I have one child and I quit my job and did home day care until he started preschool at 2 years old. I don't want to quit my current job for my second child, so I started taking care of him when he was 3-6 months old and am considering going back to work. Most preschools start at age 2, right?
Some, such as Kama'aina Kids, seem to accept children from infancy, but I wonder if they can be placed in such a school facility or in a "home care (family day care)" that accepts a small number of children at home. ? If so, how did you find one Was it a PATCH referral ?
and was it a safe environment where you could leave your child ?

Many people around me either had their step-family take care of them during their babyhood or they took care of them themselves while working at home. Both of them seem to be difficult for me. I feel uneasy about leaving my baby with them because it is a baby. I have not had many opportunities to meet working mothers, so I thought I would post here to get some information. Thank you very much.

Customs Procedures at Honolulu Airport : No Declaration Form Submitted for GC ?.

Question

I am currently in Japan and will return to Hawaii in a few days.
So I am making a list of items to purchase for customs when I enter the country.

However, when I returned to Hawaii last June and this January,
- Before entering the immigration area, I was briefly questioned about the items I was bringing
- Lined up in the GC lane
- Immigration officer asked me if I had anything to declare ? and I answered truthfully
- After picking up your luggage, you are not asked anything at the customs gate and walk out of the airport
and
there was nowhere to formalize customs declaration.

On board the plane, there was a broadcast that customs declarations would be made at the kiosks, but
GC did not have the opportunity to do so as they were directly in line at the immigration lanes.

I kind of wonder if the actual operation is a spot check at the
customs gate rather than collecting customs declarations from everyone.

I will be well prepared, but I am wondering if this is how it is going to be for this entry
I would like to hear from anyone who has recently returned to Hawaii with a GC and would like to hear about their experience.

Frustrated tears for medical care: powdery mildew ? ingrown hairs ?.

It's mostly complaining. Sorry.

The other day my skin was red and swollen and the slightest irritation caused severe pain.
I have several small bumps.
This time I thought the bumps must have festered and decided to go to the hospital.
I saw on the internet that the doctor's appointment was 2 weeks later or if it's urgent, go to urgent care. My insurance is Kaiser.

After 2 days of observation, I called the hospital's phone counseling service for the pain that did not go away. A nurse answered, and the nurse who answered the phone made an urgent appointment with a doctor for 3 days later.
If it had been online, I would have had to wait 2 weeks. Tears

5 days after the onset of pain, doctor appointment date.
The pain seems to have subsided a little, but it still hurts when I dare to touch it. I told this to the doctor and asked him to take a look at it, and he said it was a buried hair that had festered.
He said the pain was caused by an abscess near the nerve.

I shave the hair and it burrows. He says, I didn't shave the hair, and he says the partial bald spot is festering, but I say it's buried hair.

Well, buried hair is fine, but all I got that day was a diagnosis and a prescription for antibiotics.

I say it's a swollen mass, but she says it's atheroma ? atheroma ? I say a lot of things, but she says she doesn't know ? what that is ! she says it's a misinterpretation. 
Pronounced badly ? and the home doctor looks like he doesn't know when I show him the internet.
And he says I'll give you antibiotics for the inflammation of the buried hairs and you can take them and I'll pull them out when the pain goes away.

It's been 7 days since I took the antibiotics. Even after taking all the antibiotics, it still hurts a little. My parents also had a powdery sore that festered and was removed by a dermatologist, but my home doctor said mine will be taken care of. I want a referral to a dermatologist or surgeon, but they say it's me. 。。。。 I wonder if that's their specialty.

and my next appointment is just an x-ray ? echo ? or something, 12 days after the pain occurred. I'm like, when the hell am I going to get the next one out?

I would prefer insurance that will see me anywhere. Kaiser.... I've heard that emergency room is the best option.
First aid is an extra charge of several hundred dollars. I think I was told that I should be able to pay for it. 。。。。

Sorry, I'm just complaining. Thank you for reading.

Tell me about ESL in Kindergarten ^ ^

We recently moved to Hawaii.
My 5 year old daughter will be enrolled in Kindergarten this fall.
In Japan, she attended English conversation lessons once a week but speaks very little English.
In this case, would it be better to send her to a school with ESL? ? I was thinking that since she is still in kindergarten, it may not be necessary, but I would appreciate your advice since there are no other people around who are in a similar environment.
Thank you !

My parents-in-law own a cemetery in Kaneohe. I was fed up with the funeral company at my father-in-law's funeral. The funeral home operates the cemetery, so those who own the cemetery have only one choice if they want to be buried here ?
Is that how it is ??

I will be boarding a Hawaiian Airlines flight to Narita, Hawaii
I have recently been to the mainland, and as a matter of course
I had to purchase a blanket
and it was extremely cold to prevent the spread of corona bacteria
If you have recently flown to Japan from Hawaii, how cold was the flight?
I think they give out blankets, but we have a child and want to keep our luggage as small as possible
Please let me know if there is anything I can use as a reference in this regard.

Birthday gift ideas for a 1 year old baby

I was invited to a 1st birthday party that my neighbor's grandson who lives on the mainland will have when he comes to Hawaii in a few months. He is a half Asian, half Caucasian boy and his parents work for a well-known IT company, so I assume they have a high income. I don't think I need a gift card and I don't think a big one is a good idea as I want him to take it back to his home on the mainland. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I'm thinking about UNIQLO clothes, but I'm trying to figure out if I'd prefer something more branded or something else.

Do you know a reliable divorce lawyer ??

I'm currently in the middle of a divorce, but it's too late anyway.
Let's wait and see what the other person will do.
Time is passing and it seems to be getting worse and worse.
I've talked to a lawyer, but he hasn't given me any advice on what to do, and I want to end it right away.
I don't know if this is how it is with lawyers.
I'm looking for a lawyer who can be more aggressive and reassuring
in making arrangements. Anyone know if you have used one yourself or
heard about them ? or even if you have heard rumors about them?
